Home to various waterfowl, see below for my best attempt at a species list for this exhibit, given that I did not see any signage at the exhibit (or managed to miss it if it's actually there) and am unsure about the presence of some species indicated to be present here on Zootierliste.
Species list of this exhibit:
Species I saw during my visit or was able to identify from pictures:
- Crested screamer (Chauna torquata)
- Common eider duck (Somateria mollisima mollisima)
- Common shelduck (Tadorna tadorna)
- Red-crested pochard (Netta rufina)
- Rosy-billed pochard (Netta peposaca)
- Ferruginous duck or white-eyed pochard (Aythya nyroca)
- Common goldeneye duck (Bucephala clangula clangula) [Not entirely sure of my identification on this one as it was based only on a specimen distantly present and partially visible in an image]

Species listed on Zootierliste as being present in this exhibit, but which I did not see during my visit:
- Lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor)
- Ruddy duck (Oxyura jamaicensis)
- Chiloe wigeon (Mareca sibilatrix)
- Falcated teal (Mareca falcata)

I did not see any signage (or managed to miss it if there actually is any present) so I can only go by what I have to compose this list. If anyone has any additional information it is very welcome.

Also, again lots of wild mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) hanging around in the exhibit, as in most of the open-topped exhibits at Avifauna during my visit.
